Baked Apples  Ingredients:       4 large good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold (see cooking apple varieties)    1/4 cup brown sugar       1 teaspoon cinnamon    1/4 cup chopped pecans       1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins    1 Tbsp butter       3/4 cup boiling water

Preparation:

1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Wash apples. Remove cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apples. It helps if you have an apple corer, but if not, you can use a paring knife to cut out first the stem area, and then the core. Use a spoon to dig out the seeds. Make the holes about 3/4-inch to an inch wide. 2 In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, currants/raisins, and pecans. Place apples in a 8-inch-by-8-inch square baking pan. Stuff each apple with this mixture. Top with a dot of butter (1/4 of the Tbps). 3 Add boiling water to the baking pan. Bake 30-40 minutes, until tender, but not mushy. Remove from the oven and baste the apples several times with the pan juices. Serve warm with vanilla icecream on the side. Makes 4 servings.
